RF Brake locking up 96 Dodge Dakota

Im having trouble with a 1996 Dodge Dakota 3.9 2wd.
The Right Front brake wants to keep locking up after a couple miles.
I replaced the calipers and brakes on both sides and blead the front brakes, at first it seemed fine, but a couple miles and it was smoking. I had to release the pressure on that caliper to get it home.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I would have guessed the caliper but you changed it. My Dakota's and Durango had that problem but it was the piston egging in the caliper. I have no idea unless the second caliper just failed.
